Iphones , Riots and China

Posted by w_thames_the_d on January 14, 2012


The iPhone 4has come to china, sort of….
It is actually at the stores, but due to lunacy with’chinese characteristics’, stores did not sell them.
The problem is that people from china do not play well with others, and that being the case, they mobbed the apple stores. Out of concern for employes safety, apple stores said they will only sell online.
This should come as no surprise as where else but china do women offer up their virginity and other sexual services for a phone?

Taking this into consideration, it’s no wonder the men mobbed the place,after all, by buying a phone, they may finally be able to meet a woman

If they have trouble paying back the loans, does it mean all the bribes must be returned as well? And if so, how does one go about getting back the two hundred Kauai from the ktv/hostess/student/hooker? Does the communist official have to physically return the favor of hand love for a quick o?

Nike to Build Headquarters in China

Posted by w_thames_the_d on January 14, 2012


Nike, whose collective soul has been exposed by little kids being strapped to Nike machines, toil away so that we can sport the same shirts as tiger once did.
It should come as no surprise that such a company would be shifting jobs from the heartland to china, after all, who cares that for the first time in history, we will not live better than our fathers did.
But on the bright side, china has new found affluence and places like Guangdong are raising the minimum wage for each year for the past three years. And better than that, china bought more rolls than we did.
Good job Nike and go china go!!!
